Our Final Assessment:

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Tear-Free Shampoo & Wash gets mixed reviews from customers. Although about 75% of the reviews we found were positive, the more recent ones were largely negative - apparently due to a recent change in formula, so it appears that the newer formula is not nearly as well-liked as the old one, causing isues from rashes to dry skin. It also gets a moderate risk rating of 4 from the EWG safety database - although this is based on undisclosed ingredients in the fragrance. It is a 98.9% natural product, and the size of the bottle is quite good for the price and a mostly natural product. However, based on other ratings and the negative trend in recent customer reviews, we gave it an overall rating of 6.5.
